What South Asians represent to me at this point is the 'vertical mosaic'.
When it comes to overcoming personal psychopathologies and ‘dissolving the self'
Of course you don’t need religion…
You wake up everyday needing to be productive or else you…
You wake up everyday needing to be productive, needing mindfulness or else you…
You wake up everyday needing to be productive, needing mindfulness to be ‘conjured up’ by nothing but authentic and full caring and effort within your mind or else you…
Not uncommonly 'mass marketed/institutionalized’ major life reveals and/or theories of mind which call you insensible for not following them, butt in on what little ‘space for expression’/space for embracing individual active intuition/ breathing room for needing mindfulness to be ‘conjured up’ by nothing but authentic and full caring and effort within your mind or else you … *remains*.
Hence ‘you make your own religion each day’.
Don’t be a dumba— and forget epistemic responsibility, please.
